Re: My 92 hatch

put the rest of the body kit, slam it, take of those tails and put some oem ones, and a carbon fiber hood and you'll be good as for exterior mods.

Re: My 92 hatch

To each their own.

If you were to put on OEM front bumper on it, and some OEM tails and dropped it a bit it would look awesome! But its your car, so build it the way YOU like it.

Thats what was bothering me with the bumber, lol couldn't but my thumb on it till you mentioned it.
I think w/o the 2 holes it'd look better, but I'm not really gonna but too much into it right now since its the beginning of the project. Good luck with it man.

Re: My 92 hatch

yea i think im going to fill those holes in the front i wanna shave a few things, slammin its the hard part because where i live if i slammed it i wouldnt be able to park it in my drive way, i live in a small town with horrible roads so its hard to keep a car in good shape lowerd...anyone one got any suggestions for an engine swap...something good but affordable?

Re: My 92 hatch

b-series motors are good. if you wanted a budget k, you could get a k20a3 from a 7thgen Si and boost it.

Re: My 92 hatch

screw the k20a3. If you don't have the money for a k20a or k20a2, go B series. It is much cheaper, especially in a hatch

Re: My 92 hatch

The body kit, tails, front turns, black hood aren't my style, but its not my car....as of engine swap, maybe a turbo k24, may open up the option of a k24/k20 frank later down the road....k-series appear to be the new generation, so I would spend less money on exterior mods, and more on a k-swap.....plus you'd get a lot more praise and enjoyment out of it....just my $0.02...

Re: My 92 hatch

Looks pretty good .. the hatch look has grown on me a lot, but I still am a fan of lip kits over body kits on them.. and as someone else said before, lower it more too..

Re: My 92 hatch

i think a stock front bumper with the mugen lip, stock headlights with the jdm corners, stock tails, and a nice jdm duckbill spoiler would make the car look really good with a low drop.

Re: My 92 hatch

i like the front. you need a engine swap to go with that aggressive look. I say B for boost. B-series...less money and less hassle to install. Just boost it.

If your gonna stay NA, then K is way better.

Re: My 92 hatch

Hey,
I'm new here but I thought I'd post anyways.

I just bought a '92 EX-V with the D16Z6. It's the 1.6L L4 VTEC. If your running the 1.5L D15 series, its not VTEC and you would notice a big difference with an engine like mine. Ebay right now has them advertised for $550 + shipping.

If any of my info is wrong, tell me. Im only 17 and still learning

Check this out.

That would be a perfect setup for you.

A K20 swap is easily going to run you 6k+.

Re: My 92 hatch

now my question is, my stock engine is in good shape, if i were to just keep the stock engine and put a turbo charger in it with headers etc. would my engine hold up would it run good? (sorry if this is a dumb question just curious)

Re: My 92 hatch

that is going to depend on a lot of different factors like what kind of engine management you go with, how much boost you are running, and the actual condition of the internals. just to be safe, i would scope out the condition of the internals, and replace what needs to be. the motor should hold up well to a reasonable boost setting.

a b-swap is not going to be as expensive as a k-swap, and could be cheaper than boost. you could also avoid all the potential headaches that some people end up with after they boost. i think n/a is the way to go, but that is just me. (obviously there are pros and cons for every option).
